A deal from the
National League Finals in June.
Dealer N Both vulnerable.
You arrive in three
notrump, West leading the club two (fourth highest) which East wins
with the ace and returns the jack, which you duck. A third club
is played which you win with the king and play the king of
hearts. East wins this with the ace and plays the jack of spades,
what do you play?
Solution East has passed
originally and turned up with two aces and two jacks. He cannot
have the spade king for his initial pass, so you play the spade ace
successfully dropping West's singleton king.
This hand was played by Stefan Lindors of the winning Devon team in the A division. |
